Since it was April, the weather outside was quite nice. The subtle wind was enough to refresh on a particularly sunny day. It wasn’t too hot. It felt pleasant inside Greenhouse Three, and Paul was sitting atop the table in front of the room. He was seated in the lotus position, his eyes were closed, and he hummed softly to himself, waiting for the students to enter.
There are four trees floating in midair about the sunny room. They are not moving quickly, just….going wherever the air took them. Currently one had stopped next to Paul, blocked from moving by the table. “Please come in, drop your things, and get in the circle for our meditations.” Paul said as students wandered in. “You do not have to compliment anyone as we come in--but feel free to continue giving flowers to those that touch you during my class.” He thought they had had enough of complimenting each other...and many repeated compliments were starting to emerge. The basket of flowers was on Paul’s right.
He was hoping the students would enjoy today’s lesson. It was quite...different. And these trees had taken just about FOREVER to order and come in. Merlin.
OOC: Hi guys! Make sure you are familiar with our rules and adhere to the SS rules as well.
The trees in the picture are not IDENTICAL to how I imagine them in my head, but they are the closest I can find on the interwebs. They are not quite so large as to cramp up the Greenhouse, but they are pretty big and tree-sized, lol.
Angel was totally going to enjoy this, she loved the fact that they were going to make the plant life better, though she was a bit concerned about the way the Professor was handling them because this was the second time this term they had to try and treat plants that were sick, and she didn't like it when any sort of plant or tree got ill.
Now all she needed was a partner to help her. "Does anyone want to be my partner?" Angel asked the class at large, hopefully there was someone still available she had been busy daydreaming that she never realised that most people had already started.

The next thing to come out of Ava's mouth was something else that she had grown used to hearing over the last few months. A smile that didn't quite touch her eyes appeared, and she looked at Ava dead on. "Yeah, I am." She had moved on, but the pain of losing a best friend was still there... somewhere deep. "But, I'm known for even cooler things." She refused to let a man define her. She was AJ Valentine, dangit! "You don't have to apologize." Adi was apart of her past, and she didn't regret that.
Oh, AJ didn't even think about the possibility of her being afraid of heights. Good thing she wasn't because she WAS going in the air. No backsies. Heh. AJ watched Ava water the tree like a PRO with admiration as if she were her own lion cub. "Awesome job, dude."
The fifth year began to lower her wand to the ground to get Ava back on her own two feet safely. "My turn, my turn," she exclaimed as if she were a five year old waiting to get a turn on the merry go round.
Oh, shoot. She really needed to control her speech, NOT to say anything that pop on her head. Glad that AJ was cool when she mentioned that she was Adi's ex-girlfriend.
Once she had done watering the roots, her partner lowered her wand and Ava was back on the ground again. Woah, it was such a good experience. And not to mention that AJ was more pro on levitating person, unlike a certain Hufflepuff that made her fell to the ground.... Oops! Not that she didn't trust Henric. Well, she trusted him but it seemed like the Hufflepuff boy didn't trust herself to do that.
"Thank you!!" The young lioness beamed as her partner complimented her job. "Well, now it's your turn. Do you trust me to shoot you up in the air, right?" She hoped so. Ava herself believed that she could successfully shoot her partner up in the air and did her job. "Ready? Mobilicorpus!" She aimed her wand to AJ and higher it so her partner could do her job. "Try to cut the branches!" She shouted up to give suggestion.

The seventh year was watching his boyfriend work but most of the attention was on keeping him there up in the air. Adi was busy fertilizing the tree while he was doing his best to keep his magic steady as he occasionally moved the Hufflepuff around to get at different stuff.
"Where to now?" he asked when he figured enough of the fertilizer had been added to the roots, at least from his perspective. And did Adi need to come down to put anything down or something. Fill your best friend in, Adi. He knew his friend but couldn't totally read minds.
So far, so good for him!
Adi had not been dropped which was good. Not that he had ever believed he would be. He finished up adding the fertilizer as he floated around. Hey, He was Adi the Gravity resistant Hippogriff! Hehe. Anyway...
He surveyed the roots for one last time before looking down at Benny. "All done. Just going to give it some water.'' And then the duo would be done! Since all the fertilizer was finished Adi retrieved his wand. "I'll start from where I am then you can levitate me around to get to the other roots.'' Did that sound like a plan? It sure did to him!
"Aguamenti!'' Verbal incantation this time just because he felt like it. He controlled the tiny stream of water flow. Didn't want to give the tree too much since they had already gotten some earlier. When he was satisfied that this bit of root had gotten enough, he signalled his boyfriend. Time to move along! Ali sings the All American Rejects's 'Move Along' now.

When Puffer girl cast the charm, Zeke fixed his gaze on the tree above and searched it with his eyes as he rose up to meet it. Instinctively, he held out a hand to grab hold of a branch to steady himself, and as he did so, he noticed the hollow that was there just above it. From where he was, he could just peer into it. "A little closer," he instructed, moving his wand from his preferred hand to the hand he was using to support himself, and then sunk his arm into the hollow right up to his elbow.
His nose wrinkled a little as he felt crawly bits, with lots of legs, some of them squishier than the others. Larvae? Scooping up whatever he could, he did what he supposed he ought to do... get rid of it... by dropping it down to the ground below.
BombsBugs away?
And ... whoops? "Heads!" he called out, a little late.
He went back in to get the rest of them, the process not taking too long as the hollow was small - not the type to be house owls or anything.
Keeping a person in mid-air wasn't exactly easy, but Paulina was trying her best. Carefully she tried to help Zeke get closer to the tree, and it seemed that it had worked since insects were now falling to the ground.
Poor little things.
At least some of them had wings to fly away, but there wasn't exactly anything else they could do with the insects besides tossing them aside.
"Okay. That's great," she called up to him. "Do you want to do your other task before coming down? I think that would be easier than alternating." Since he was already up there.

"You're welcome. You're welcome," she said with a bow as if she had just accomplished something way more complicated then levitating someone in the air. She was proud of herself though, and in her books what she had accomplished was mad cool. In fact she gave HERSELF a high five. It was deserving.
Did AJ trust her? The logical answer to that should be no because Ava was a first year, and AJ didn't technically know her. This was Aubrey they were talking about though so without missing a beat she plastered on a goofy grin and confidently exclaimed... "YES!" What was the worst thing that could happen? She could fall on her head Ahem.
Before she knew it, Ava had her up in the air. "Good job, man." The proud sensation encompassed her body again. This chick deserved a gold star. "Tree trimming coming right up." AJ was okay with Ava's suggestion of cutting the branches because it wasn't like she was chomping at the bit for any particular child labor task. Although watering said tree would have been nice.
"Diffindo." Because this was the easier spell to use, and AJ was all about that cake life. The fifth year trimmed the trees quite nicely for someone who didn't really care about her work. Nope, she was too busy enjoying floating around in the air. That was her main concern at the moment. Enjoy yourself before the first year lost concentration... not that she didn't have faith or anything.

Ava was concentrating enough to cast the Mobilicorpus spell. Well, this was not easy because she's really LEVITATING A PERSON HERE! AND SHE'S WAAAAAY OLDER THAN HER! WHAT IF SHE FAILED AND INJURED AJ? WHAT IF HER PARTNER FELL DOWN AND HIT HER HEAD AND THEN SHE'S GONNA LOSE HER MEMORY? WHAT IF... WHAT IF...
OH SHUT UP, LITTLE BURTON! YOU CAN DO IT!
Right... She mainly focused on keep AJ was up in the air and do her job. The young lioness tried NOT to think about anything else because it would be fatal. Once AJ had finished her mission, she slowly lowered her wand so the fifth year could land safely to the ground. She was fine, right? No injuries, no losing part of her body, and conscious? Fiuh, thankfully that her partner was fine, alive and kickin'.

Annnnd she was back on the ground. Lamesauce, but she apparently had to be a share bear even if she didn't like it... and she totally didn't. It was okay though because she would at least get one more go at it, and they were both getting good practice which is something that a girl in their fifth year should be glad about, but um.. yeah. Nope. That subject was one big fat nope.
Anywho...
She had a firstie to levitate. "Hold on to your wand." It was go time. "Mobilicorpus." AJ steered with her wand and was intensely focused so she could get to her turn faster.
Whoops. Maybe she should have given Ava a chance to even think about what task she wanted to do before she just boosted her up into the air? This was a test. Only it wasn't. AJ just got excited and went for it. Ava was a smart girl, she could think on her... uh... floating feet? Yeah, that worked.
BOOMBAYAH! | #PuedoPorquePiensoQuePuedo | Certified Blank and Random Person | Raventastic
Now it's her turn again to be up in the air. Okay!
Glad that she wasn't afraid of height so this activity was kind of amusing for her. Not like Teddy who was such a wimp.
"I'm ready!" The young lioness then waited until AJ cast the spell and sent her up in the air. Wait a minute... What should she do know? They had watered the roots and trimmed the dead branches.... Okay, she's gonna trimmed the dead leaves by using the trimming charm. "Flipnsnipwitit..." Ava cas the spell and... Oops, she aimed to the wrong leaves. Sorry, Professor Myers! It's kinda hard to cast the spell while she's up in the air like this. She tried to aim the right leaves... Well, the sick and bad ones. "Flipnsnipwitit... Flipnsnipwitit... Flipnsnipwitit..." The sick leaves fell down to the ground one by one.. YAY!!!!
"You can lower me down now..." She said to AJ. "Come on, it's your turn to be up in the air now." Once her partner was ready, she cast the Mobilicorpus and higher up her wand to send the older Gryffindor to the air.

The pair really did make a good team. People who didn't have faith in firsties were missing out because Ava was a rockstar. She had so much potential. AJ knew there was NO way she would have been able to levitate someone when she was eleven. Probably not even at the age of twelve or thirteen. It was safe to say that she struggled with spellwork in the beginning, but it was going much better for her now.
Before she knew it, Ava had trimmed the trees and AJ was in the air again. WHEEEEE. Don;t mind her just floating around a bit. Okay. There was work to be done, and it really wasn't fair to Ava to play around up here.
What was left to do? There were some things that she would have to do manually, but where was the fun in that? This magic stick of hers was going to be put to good use.
Well, she had the diffindo spell down pat, soooo why mess with a good thing? There were some pieces of dead bark on the tree that needed to go. That couldn't be helping anything. "Diffindo!" She did this over and over until there wasn't a single piece of dead bark left on the tree. She was good like that.
Done. She would be okay with staying in the air for funsies though. Mmhmm.

SPOILER!!: Brooklyn
People were starting to move on around her, but Brooklyn still had her tree claimed. She might’ve snuck a peek over at some of those who had actually gotten started on their plant healing, but she was expert at subtle by now. Just as she still felt she was expert at asking for partners when she never really said anything. At least, it worked for her nine times out of ten, including now. Although she was hardly surprised when Hady had appeared and joined her with a nod. Of course. It was a pairing they already knew worked, so she didn’t see a reason to question it. Nor to decline it, as she nodded in return. Even if neither of them looked particularly into the lesson, they’d get it done. That was inevitable.
“So are you hoping that there isn’t a lot wrong with our tree too?,” she asked after a moment, letting her blue eyes flicker up to the tree high above their heads. Obviously they had to decide who was going up there to check first, but that was a question that didn’t need to be asked. By now, she felt like they had a nonverbal method of communication with each other. It always seemed that way, anyhow, and therefore after that initial random question she merely waited. She could do either one. All it needed was the confidence in herself and her capabilities, and Brooklyn didn’t have a problem with that.
Partner. Done and check. Hady wasn't worried about her silent question and acceptance of them working together. They always did the task at hand even if it wasn't a liked one.
Brooklyn's question caused her to glance upwards at the tree. "It would be nice if there wasn't much needed but somehow I doubt that's the case." Whatever needed to be done would get taken care of. Hopefully it wasn't anything to bad.
"Ready then?," Hady aimed her wand at her fellow snake making sure she was ready. "Mobilicorpus," She cast aiming her wand upwards towards the tree to get Brooklyn as close as she could and not drop her.

"Sorry..." he appologized. "It sounds like a plan. " Verbal answers would clearly be the best option for now so his vision and focus wasn't changed.
Keeping him in place, casting another round of the spell to keep control, the Gryffindor listened or looked for any signs to move Adi on. The boyfriend didn't disappoint, giving a signal that he could see from his position on the ground. So Benny directed his wand and the badger with it around to another spot of the roots. And when that was done....around to another.

Had something gone wrong that made Benny apologise? The Gravity Resistant Hippogriff hadn't noticed anything having been too caught up in his work. He grinned at Benny, though, to show that everything was okay.
As he was moved about, he kept verbally casting the Water charm, always controlling the flow. Annnnd then he was done! WOOT! But bleh to the fact that he had to return to his feet. Adi glanced around at Benny again, flashing two thumbs up. "All done! You can set me back down.''
Angel was totally going to enjoy this, she loved the fact that they were going to make the plant life better, though she was a bit concerned about the way the Professor was handling them because this was the second time this term they had to try and treat plants that were sick, and she didn't like it when any sort of plant or tree got ill.

Aw, it seemed as if Miss Angel Valentine was partnerless! No fear! Paul would pair up with her! He smiled over at her. "I can help you out, Angel." It was Angel, right? He thought he could tell Angel and AJ apart by now.
"Okay so...I'll levitate you first, Miss Valentine. Figure out what you want to do to the tree and we can get started." He brandished his wand and smiled warmly. She had no reason to be frightened or anything. Paul was skilled enough to make sure that he was not going to drop her or anything.
"Okay--on three--one, two, THREE--Mobilicorpus!" he cried, and he lifted little Angel into the air to the tree.
OOC: Obviously I am going to extend this to give people more time xD Another few hours before I move on!

Since Zander seemed ready, Janelle tried to focus on the task at hand. She went into concentration mode and reviewed the spell she would have to do, in her mind. "Yes, I'm ready. Hit it." And with that, Janelle started to rise slowly, getting higher and higher until she was even with the tree. "Wheeeee!", she said as she went up. "This is fun!" Not afraid of heights this one. Nope. She was enjoying every minute of the ride so far.
Taking a moment to inspect the tree, Janelle found more than a few dead branches that needed tending to. Already holding out her wand, she pointed it at the first dead branch. Carrying out the appropriate wand movement, she saidm "Diffindo". Ok, she hadn't quite thought this through because the now severed limb went tumbling to the ground. "Heads up", Janelle cried, as a warning to those below. She certainly did not want to take out her partner, after he had been nice enough to work with her.
Lesson learned, Janelle moved on to the next branch. This time she was more careful. "Diffindo, Diffindo" More branches were cut, but Janelle was ready for them. This time, Janelle grabbed the cut tree branches in her free hand. Over and over she Diffindo'd the dead branches until the tree was looking better and better.........at least on one side. "Hey Zander", Janelle yelled down. "I'm going to drop these down, OK? Stand clear and make sure everyone else does too." She was sure that there was a magical way to do this, but for now, she was just going to drop them. The branches fell to the floor with a clatter.
"Hey Zander", Janelle said again. "While I'm up here, I think I'll give the tree some water........if you're OK with that. Then it will be your turn." With that statement. Janelle gave Zander a little eyebrow wiggle. Was he scared? Not to worry. She would never let him fall.
Zander was very amused. She was having way too much fun. They were still in class. Class was not fun. It was learning and boring. Though.... Maybe being in the air was more fun than a normal lesson. Okay, Myers you did something right. Congratulations, buddy.
He was glad to see that she finally started getting to work though. 'Cause they could have fun all day... But this was still a class activity so y'know, there was a task at hand here. And Zander wasn't sure how much longer he was gonna be able to keep her in the air for. They needed to stretch, y'know? O____O And this is the part where Zander Adair became very thankful for her warning. He almost got smacked right in the face with that branch. Ahem.
And Merlin, she was really going at it. Hacking off all those branches..... Merlin, hopefully she left something for Zander to do... 'Cause after all, they were both supposed to take turns right? "Will do," he gave her a thumbs up, moving out of the way. See, this was very good to know. Zander wasn't about to get smacked in the face here, okay?
Ahem.
"Go for it," he nodded. But also leave some work to be done 'cause the Head Boy still needs an O in this class. For who knows what reason because he wasn't even going to uni, but Sophie Brown said it'd be a good idea to get high marks anyways. And Sophie Brown was always right. What a genius she is. It's why Zander was her puppy. 'Cause she knew things.
"Are you about done?" No rush or anything... But also, his arm was getting kind of tired here.

Aw, it seemed as if Miss Angel Valentine was partnerless! No fear! Paul would pair up with her! He smiled over at her. "I can help you out, Angel." It was Angel, right? He thought he could tell Angel and AJ apart by now.

"Okay--on three--one, two, THREE--Mobilicorpus!" he cried, and he lifted little Angel into the air to the tree.
Angel was totally happy to have the Professor as her partner. "Awesome, thanks Professor." Angel beamed as she thought about what she wanted to do to one of the trees that was ill. "I've got what I need to do Professor." Angel smiled as she waited for the next bit, she was a bit nervous but she had no idea why.
Angel waited and then she felt herself being lifted into the air, how awesome was this, the Professor was amazing with this spell and she was looking forwards to the rest of the lesson.
"diffindo!" Angel did the wand movement and she started to trim some of the dead leaves off the tree. "diffindo!" Angel said the incantation and did the wand movement again, and trimmed some more of the dead leaves off. "This is awesome professor, want me to water the tree next?" Angel asked as she looked down at the professor.

Zander sounded like he was realllly ready for Janelle to finish her work. She started to speed things up so he could get a break from holding her up. Peeking down at him she said, "Don't worry, this part should be quick". Janelle shifted her position a bit, hoping to get a better shot at the tree's roots. She pointed her wand and said, "Aguamenti". Just like before, the water was sucked up by the tree as if it hadn't gotten any water before. Janelle was still amazed by the whole gravity defying thing. Watching the tree take a drink, she almost forgot about poor Zander down on the ground.
When Janelle snapped out of her trance, she ended the spell. "Finite" The water dribbled to a stop and her work was done. Before going down, Janelle took a second to check out the rest of the tree. There was still a lot that needed to be done before this tree could be given a clean bill of health. There were leaves to be clipped, bugs to be banished and the tree seemed like it could even use more water. Zander would have plenty left to do when he got up.
It was time to switch places. Janelle was sad that she had to come down, but it had been fun while it lasted. "Hey Zander", Janelle shouted. "I'm all done up here. You can bring me down whenever you are ready." Janelle put her wand away and prepared herself for the descent. "Wait 'til you get up here. You're gonna love it." Well she thought her would anyway.

She pointed her wand and said, "Aguamenti". Just like before, the water was sucked up by the tree as if it hadn't gotten any water before. Janelle was still amazed by the whole gravity defying thing. Watching the tree take a drink, she almost forgot about poor Zander down on the ground.
When Janelle snapped out of her trance, she ended the spell. "Finite" The water dribbled to a stop and her work was done. Before going down, Janelle took a second to check out the rest of the tree. There was still a lot that needed to be done before this tree could be given a clean bill of health. There were leaves to be clipped, bugs to be banished and the tree seemed like it could even use more water. Zander would have plenty left to do when he got up.
It was time to switch places. Janelle was sad that she had to come down, but it had been fun while it lasted. "Hey Zander", Janelle shouted. "I'm all done up here. You can bring me down whenever you are ready." Janelle put her wand away and prepared herself for the descent. "Wait 'til you get up here. You're gonna love it." Well she thought her would anyway.
"It's all good, you can take your time," just his arm was gonna die at some point, but really it was whatever. He'd make sure she wouldn't fall, if that was the concern. Zander Adair already got one student killed during his Hogwarts career. Didn't need to make it TWO, y'know?
He waited as she went ahead to water the tree, watching as the water stuck to the roots just as before.
And finally she was done, and Zander lowered his wand down to the ground so that she'd follow along with it. "You're not gonna drop me, right?" Not that he was doubting her...
But he was sort of doubting her. Myers was sure this was a good idea, yeah? Because Zander Adair didn't mind if Janelle wanted to take all the up in the air shifts. It only made sense seeing as she was the younger one. Probably easier to lift and everything. Plus Zander was probably better at spellwork since he had an extra four years of it... Just sayin'. Ahem. Not doubting though... She was gonna do great. "Whenever you're ready,"

Angel was totally happy to have the Professor as her partner. "Awesome, thanks Professor." Angel beamed as she thought about what she wanted to do to one of the trees that was ill. "I've got what I need to do Professor." Angel smiled as she waited for the next bit, she was a bit nervous but she had no idea why.
Angel waited and then she felt herself being lifted into the air, how awesome was this, the Professor was amazing with this spell and she was looking forwards to the rest of the lesson.
"diffindo!" Angel did the wand movement and she started to trim some of the dead leaves off the tree. "diffindo!" Angel said the incantation and did the wand movement again, and trimmed some more of the dead leaves off. "This is awesome professor, want me to water the tree next?" Angel asked as she looked down at the professor.
Paul lifted her up and was glad to see she seemed confident and full of enthusiasm. She seemed to be glad that he was her partner, too. Oh good. She didn't think he was super lame or anything. THANK MERLIN.
"Very good, Angel! You're doing so well!" She was cutting off them leaves! He was happy to see his tree get all better...and he sort of glanced around to see that the other students were contributing greatly to making the four trees here feel better! Ah. It was a nice feeling.
Paul nodded up at her. "Yes! I will move you a little downward!" and he did, making sure not to hit her on anything. Hmph. "Okay, I think you're ready! Go ahead, Angel!"

Annnnnd it was time to go down. Janelle savored her last few moments of being airborne before she was back on solid ground. When Zander questioned her, Janelle looked at him with a smile. "Of course I'm not going to drop you.". "I got this", she said confidently. "Don't you worry. You just do your job.". Janelle would let her arm drop off before she would allow herself to drop the Head Boy.
"You ready?", Janelle asked. Taking out her wand again, she began to concentrate. "Mobilicorpus", Janelle said with authority. Raising her wand, she began to lift Zander up until he was at tree level. "Don't worry. I've got you." Holding her arm steady, Janelle watched as Zander got to work.

Angel was totally enjoying this and she sort of felt like peter pan, moving around off in the air, seriously why couldn't she fly without a broomstick that would just be epic and she hoped that someone would invent flying as a thing, because that would be totally out of this world.
Angel totally trusted this professor, though she did have a question for him and she was going to ask him now and hope he didn't mind it. "Professor, how do these tree's get sick?" Angel thought that with the fact it was in the greenhouse it would be better protected from getting ill.
"Aguamenti!" Angel pointed her wand at the roots and then she watches as a spray of water came out, she made sure that she didn't put too much water in on the tree because that could cause more harm than good, she then stopped the spell.
Angel pointed her wand at another part of the roots. ""Aguamenti!" She made sure that she didn't put too much water on the roots again and then once she was satisfied she stopped the spell again and looked at the Professor once more. "Now what Professor?"

She sounded confident.
... Hopefully she was as good with spellwork as she tried to make it sound. Zander was basically trusting her with his life here. No big deal. REALLY. Ahem.
And he was going up, uP, UP!!
Once he reached the tree, he looked down at her, probably wasn't a good idea but YOLO, "I'm gonna start with getting rid of some dead leaves," on the branches that looked like they were just fine. 'Cause Janelle had gotten rid of most of the dying branches for this tree especially.
He waited until Janelle moved him closer towards the leaves, before lifting his own wand. "Flipnsnipwitit!" la la la, just getting rid of some leaaaaaaves, "Flipnsnipwitit!!" Then for the bigger chunks he opted for a, "Diffindo!" But there weren't even THAT many leaves that needed to be gotten rid of anyways.
It was fine. Was he meant to do more? "If you can lower me just a bit, I can slice off some of the damaged bark?" How'd that sound?

How was that for team work, huh?!
Adi was okay. He either hadn't been bothered much by his jostlying or was simply a ok. The smile sent down to him was proof of that and so Benny relaxed and simply continued to levitate his partner around the tree and random intervals. The Gryffindor hadn't readily registered they had made it all away around until Adi spoke up again, this time to get his attention not cast anymore spells. "Alright..."
Cue getting him down.
With a few moves of his wand, Benny gingerly lowered Adi back down to the floor of the greenhouse. Thankfully it was pretty smooth this time around because the Hippogriff wasn't quite as gravity-resistant as the trees. "I think we did pretty good," he mused now that he could just survey the work and not be in charge of either of them staying upright. But then the besties always did make great partners.

Zander was up and snipping away. Janelle kept concentrating on holding him steady. She would not drop him. She would not even let him dip, unless he wanted to. The tree was looking better and better, as Zander cleared away the dead leaves. By the time they finished, the tree would be in much beter shape........at least on their side, anyway.
When Zander asked to be lowered, Janelle carefully brought him down a bit. Hopefully he could reach the bark now. "How's that?", she asked. "Can you get to it?" If Zander needed to be moved to a better position, she knew that he would let her know.
Keeping her concentration wasn't too hard. Janelle just had to tune out all of the other students as they were working. Holding her arm up, well that was another story. Janelle was starting to get a little tired, but she was strong. She was positive that she could hold on for as long as Zander needed her to. She would not falter and she would not let on that she was a tiny bit tired. Smile still on her face, she shouted out encouragement to her partner. "You're doing great. The tree's looking a lot better." No problem here. Everything is A OK.

"You mean be levitated? I would love to go first!" That was all he wanted to do. Be levitated! Of course, he was going to have to do something while he was up there, but that was a problem for later. Just a few moments later, but still later. "Ready?" Olly sure was. As soon as Davie started to levitate him, he could go see what was wrong with the tree.
"Yeah, you can be levitated," Davie corrected himself, scrunching up his nose and waving his hand dismissively. The hand wave was for the question about him too. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. He was fine. Not being top points earner wasn't exactly something you could go to the school nurse for. And plus he wouldn't go see Healer Tillstorm anyway. She was scary. And mean.
Davie had never cast mobilicorpus before, but he was willing to give it a shot if Olly was willing to take the risk. "Ready? On three... one...two... MOBILICORPUS!"
The Ravenclaw MIGHT have shouted the spell a BIT too loud, shooting Oliver up into the air and almost above the tree. But Davie let out a giggle and straightened his wand out, so the Slytherin was levitating more normally, and with more stability now. "Sorry bout that," he called up to his partner. "You see anything wrong with the tree?" What kind of bugs were on it, eh?

"Ready then?," Hady aimed her wand at her fellow snake making sure she was ready. "Mobilicorpus," She cast aiming her wand upwards towards the tree to get Brooklyn as close as she could and not drop her.
As usual, they’d sort of gotten right to the point. Brooklyn had nodded again as Hady had answered her question, as well as to let her know that she was ready. Since apparently an unspoken decision was that she’d be going first, too, but she hardly minded. At least then she’d know exactly how much they had to do to heal their tree, and she’d made sure she had a strong grip on her wand as she heard Hady cast the spell to move her. Okay, that felt really strange, shooting up toward the roots. “Over a little bit!,” she called down, wondering if she was going to have to cast Sonorus just to be heard. She was an awful lot higher than she’d thought, but she balanced her free hand against the trunk of the tree as she’d come up alongside it.
Now she had to figure out what to fix. There were some dead leaves hanging from a branch just above her head. “Diffindo!,” she cast, slicing the leaves off the branch deftly and shaking her head to make sure they didn’t land in her hair. That was just what she needed. Leaves caught in her hair. Once she’d made sure that wasn’t the case, she let her blue eyes flicker over the tree once more. Oh, some dead branches over there. Another quick Diffindo and those fell to the floor too. Another quick watering, and she called down once more. “Okay! I think I’ve gotten everything I can see.”
